Repro Rights! Women@Risk
3GT — along with our guest curator, Repro Rights Theater–is delighted to present an evening of short works in response to the dire need to address attacks on women’s bodily autonomy and reproductive rights in the U.S. The program honors the risk-takers of NARAL Pro-Choice California, who have inspired us with their leadership and passion for protecting women’s reproductive rights for nearly forty years. Join us as we explore this important women’s rights issue using the provocative and entertaining medium of theatre. The program will be introduced by NARAL Executive Committee member Nonie Greene.
We are sold out for this show, but don’t panic! We’ll have await list at the door. Be at Thick House by 7 pm to put your name on the list and if we can seat you, we will!
